Shape memory alloy (SMA) wires were embedded within laminated composite plates to take advantage of the shape memory effect property of the SMA in improving post-buckling behavior of composite plates. A nonlinear finite element formulation was developed for this study. The plate-bending formulation used in this study was developed based on the first order shear deformation theory, where the von Karman's nonlinear moderate strain terms were added to the strain equations. The effect of the SMA was captured by adding recovery stress term in the constitutive equation of the SMA composite plates. Values of the recovery stress of the SMA were determined using Brinson's model. Using the principle of virtual work and the total Lagrangian approach, the final finite element nonlinear governing equation for the post-buckling of SMA composite plates was derived. Buckling and post-buckling analyses were then conducted on the symmetric angle-ply and cross-ply SMA composite plates. The effect of several parameters such as the activation temperature, volume fraction, and the initial strain of the SMA on the post-buckling behavior of the SMA composite plates were studied. It was found that significant improvements in the post-buckling behavior for composite plates can be attained.

This paper presents an elastic post-buckling analysis of an axially loaded beam-plate with two central across-the-width delaminations located at arbitrary depths. The analysis is based on the nonlinear beam equations, combined with the appropriate kinematic continuity and equilibrium conditions. A perturbation technique is employed, which transforms the nonlinear equations into a sequence of linear equations. An asymptotic solution of the post-buckling behavior of the plate is thus obtained. It is shown that with two delaminations, both the maximum deflection and the internal load of the first buckled (top) subplate increase as the external load increases. Of particular interest is the redistribution of load among subplates, which keeps the increase rate of internal load of the top buckled subplate much less than that of the external load. In other words, the load of the buckled subplate is close to the critical value even though the externally applied load is much larger than the critical load. In addition to the two-delamination configuration, a single delamination case is studied based on the present approach in order to verify the accuracy of the method. Also, a comparison with available finite element results is performed.

Post Buckling

This paper presents the theoretical developments of an exact finite strip for the buckling and initial post-buckling analyses of symmetrically laminated composite plates. The so-called exact finite strip is developed based on the concept that it is effectively a plate. The present method, which is designated by the name Full-analytical Finite Strip Method in this paper, provides an efficient and extremely accurate buckling solution. In the development process, the Von-Karman’s equilibrium equation is solved exactly to obtain the buckling loads and the corresponding form of out-of-plane buckling deflection modes. The investigation of thin flat plate buckling behavior is then extended to an initial post-buckling study with the assumption that the deflected form immediately after the buckling is the same as that obtained for the buckling. The post-buckling study is effectively a single-term analysis, which is attempted by utilizing the so-called semi-energy method. In this method, the Von-Karman’s compatibility equation governing the behavior of symmetrically laminated composite plates is used together with a consideration of the total strain energy of the plate. Through the solution of the compatibility equation, the in-plane displacement functions are developed in terms of the unknown coefficient in the assumed out-of-plane deflection function. These in-plane and out-of-plane deflected functions are then substituted in the total strain energy expressions and the theorem of minimum total potential energy is applied to solve for the unknown coefficient. The developed method is subsequently applied to analyze the initial post-buckling behavior of some representative thin flat plates for which the results are also obtained through the application of a semi-analytical finite strip method. Through the comparison of the results and the appropriate discussion, the knowledge of the level of capability of the developed method is significantly promoted.

Effects Of Temperature

Effects of temperature on buckling and post-buckling behavior of reinforced and unstiffened composite plates or cylindrical shells are considered. First, equilibrium equations are formulated for a shell subjected to the simultaneous action of a thermal field and an axial loading. These equations are used to predict a general form of the algebraic equations describing the post-buckling response of a shell. Conditions for the snap-through of a shell subjected to thermomechanical loading are formulated. As an example, the theory is applied to prediction of post-buckling response of flat large-aspect-ratio panels reinforced in the direction of their short edges.

Interlaminar Shear

Abstract The buckled wave length and the critical in-plane bending moment of laminated long composite strips of cord-reinforced rubber sheets on an elastic foundation is analyzed by Galerkin's method, with consideration of interlaminar shear deformation. An approximate formula for the wave length is given in terms of cord angle, elastic moduli of the constituent rubber and steel cord, and several structural dimensions. The calculated wave length for a 165SR13 automobile tire with steel breakers (belts) was very close to experimental results. An additional study was then conducted on the post-buckling behavior of a laminated biased composite beam on an elastic foundation. This beam is subjected to axial compression. The calculated relationship between the buckled wave rise and the compressive membrane force also agreed well with experimental results.
